Who Should I Start? Roman Wilson or Elic Ayomanor

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said there could be more opportunities for Roman Wilson and the team's other receivers going forward, depending on the health of Calvin Austin III (shoulder), who left the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland with a shoulder injury. Wilson had played at least 17% of the offensive snaps in the first three weeks of the season, but that number fell to 6% in Sunday's win over Minnesota. The 24-year-old hasn't been targeted in three of four games this year, catching one of his two targets for seven yards in the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Pittsburgh has its bye in Week 5, so it's entirely possible that Austin will be ready to go in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, thus relegating Wilson to a low-volume role yet again.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Elic Ayomanor has recorded 17 catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns on 34 targets through the first six games of his career. While the 22-year-old has yet to have a signature breakout game, Ayomanor has been a consistent feature in the Titans' offense and has earned at least five targets in five out of six games. With veteran Titans wideout Calvin Ridley (hamstring) potentially facing missed time due to a hamstring injury, Ayomanor could be poised to take over as the team's WR1 in Week 7 against the New England Patriots. Tennessee's anemic offense caps Ayomanor's upside, but he should still be rostered in most fantasy leagues and could be a deep-league flex option in Week 7.
